STORYLINE:
Investigators looking into the cause of the Shuttle Columbia disaster unveiled their preliminary hypothesis, that a chunk of foam insulation may have gouged a hole in the spacecraft's wing leading to a fatal 'burn-through' during re-entry.
The board's leading theory on the Columbia disaster is that a piece of foam insulation broke off the external fuel tank during liftoff on January 16, hitting and dislodging a fragment of an insulating panel or seal along the vulnerable leading edge of the shuttle's left wing.
That could have created a gap that let in superheated atmospheric gases during re-entry two weeks later, killing all seven astronauts aboard as the shuttle broke apart.
Analysis of thousands of feet (meters) of magnetic tape in a recorder from the space shuttle Columbia supports the theory that the spacecraft's left wing was breached, allowing hot gases to penetrate and destroy the vehicle, an engineer told investigators Tuesday.
The data recorder - found on March 19 on a muddy slope in East Texas - contained information about temperature, pressure, vibration and other measurements from Columbia's catastrophic descent through the atmosphere on February 1.
On Monday, NASA officials announced that their shuttle debris search command center in the East Texas city of Lufkin would shut down by the end of the week.
This would conclude all search operations in East Texas, where most pieces of Columbia landed. Debris also fell in parts of Louisiana.
Organised searches are continuing in Nevada and Utah, where officials suspect the first pieces might have fallen to the ground. Searches have concluded in California and New Mexico without finding any debris.
Officials said Monday the cost of searching for shuttle debris in Texas and other states will be at least 302 (M) million US dollars.

The Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) was convened by NASA to investigate the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-107 upon atmospheric re-entry on February 1, 2003. The panel determined that the accident was caused by foam insulation breaking off from the external fuel tank, forming debris which damaged the orbiter's wing; and that the problem of "debris shedding" was well known but considered "acceptable" by management. The panel also recommended changes that should be made to increase the safety of future shuttle flights. The CAIB released its final report on August 26, 2003.

On February 1, 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed in a disaster that claimed the lives of all seven of its crew. This video is from inside the crew cabin of Space Shuttle Columbia as it begins its re-entry and contains approximately an extra 5 minutes of footage not seen elsewhere.
While February 1 was an occasion for mourning, the efforts that ensued can be a source of national pride. NASA publicly and forthrightly informed the nation about the accident and all the associated information that became available. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board was established within two hours of the loss of signal from the returning spacecraft in accordance with procedures established by NASA following the Challenger accident 17 years earlier.
The crew members lost that morning were explorers in the finest tradition, and since then, everyone associated with the Board has felt that we were laboring in their legacy. NASA and the Columbia Investigation Board (CAIB) sought to discover the conditions that produced this tragic outcome and to share those lessons in such a way that this nationʼs space program will emerge stronger and more sure-footed. If those lessons are truly learned, then Columbiaʼs crew will have made an indelible contribution to the endeavor each one valued so greatly.
The Orbiterʼs destruction, just 16 minutes before scheduled touchdown, shows that space flight is still far from routine. It involves a substantial element of risk, which must be recognized, but never accepted with resignation. The seven Columbia astronauts believed that the risk was worth the reward.

A new NASA report says that the seat restraints, suits and helmets of the doomed crew of the space shuttle Columbia didn't work well, leading to 'lethal trauma' as the out-of-control ship broke apart, killing all seven astronauts. (Dec. 30)

On Jan. 28, 1986, seven astronauts "slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." America's space program was never the same.

Zaccaria (company)

Zaccaria, (later briefly reorganized under Mr. Game before ending production) was an Italian company of pinball and arcade machines that existed in Bologna from 1974 - 1988. The factory was sold to tecnoplay.

History

The company was founded as a manufactory for pinball arcade games in Bologna by the three brothers Marino, Franco and Natale Zaccaria. The logo consists of their initials. Zaccaria was led by Marino Zaccaria, a former manager of a bar near Bologna.

At their best time, Zaccaria was the third largest company of pinball machines in the world after Bally and Williams. The company also entered into the video arcade game sector in the late 1970s. Therefore, they licensed games and developed some games with their own designs.

There are at least 47 different Zaccaria pinball machines known to exist although some are just variations of the same game.

Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 8,491,079 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790km2), New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. By 2014 census estimates, the New York City metropolitan region remains by a significant margin the most populous in the United States, as defined by both the Metropolitan Statistical Area (20.1million residents) and the Combined Statistical Area (23.6million residents). In 2013, the MSA produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly US$1.39trillion, while in 2012, the CSA generated a GMP of over US$1.55trillion, both ranking first nationally by a wide margin and behind the GDP of only twelve and eleven countries, respectively.

The panel determined that the accident was caused by foam insulation breaking off from the external fuel tank, forming debris which damaged the orbiter's wing; and that the problem of "debris shedding" was well known but considered "acceptable" by management. The panel also recommended changes that should be made to increase the safety of future shuttle flights. The CAIB released its final report on August 26, 2003.

On February 1, 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed in a disaster that claimed the lives of all seven of its crew. This video is from inside the crew cabin of Space Shuttle Columbia as it begins its re-entry and contains approximately an extra 5 minutes of footage not seen elsewhere.
While February 1 was an occasion for mourning, the efforts that ensued can be a source of national pride. NASA publicly and forthrightly informed the nation about the accident and all the associated information that became available. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board was established within two hours of the loss of signal from the returning spacecraft in accordance with procedures established by NASA following the Challenger accident 17 years earlier.
The crew members lost that morning were explorers in the finest tradition, and since then, everyone associated with the Board has felt that we were laboring in their legacy. NASA and the Columbia Investigation Board (CAIB) sought to discover the conditions that produced this tragic outcome and to share those lessons in such a way that this nationʼs space program will emerge stronger and more sure-footed. If those lessons are truly learned, then Columbiaʼs crew will have made an indelible contribution to the endeavor each one valued so greatly.
The Orbiterʼs destruction, just 16 minutes before scheduled touchdown, shows that space flight is still far from routine. It involves a substantial element of risk, which must be recognized, but never accepted with resignation. The seven Columbia astronauts believed that the risk was worth the reward.

STORYLINE:
Investigators looking into the cause of the Shuttle Columbia disaster unveiled their preliminary hypothesis, that a chunk of foam insulation may have gouged a hole in the spacecraft's wing leading to a fatal 'burn-through' during re-entry.
The board's leading theory on the Columbia disaster is that a piece of foam insulation broke off the external fuel tank during liftoff on January 16, hitting and dislodging a fragment of an insulating panel or seal along the vulnerable leading edge of the shuttle's left wing.
That could have created a gap that let in superheated atmospheric gases during re-entry two weeks later, killing all seven astronauts aboard as the shuttle broke apart.
Analysis of thousands of feet (meters) of magnetic tape in a recorder from the space shuttle Columbia supports the theory that the spacecraft's left wing was breached, allowing hot gases to penetrate and destroy the vehicle, an engineer told investigators Tuesday.
The data recorder - found on March 19 on a muddy slope in East Texas - contained information about temperature, pressure, vibration and other measurements from Columbia's catastrophic descent through the atmosphere on February 1.
On Monday, NASA officials announced that their shuttle debris search command center in the East Texas city of Lufkin would shut down by the end of the week.
This would conclude all search operations in East Texas, where most pieces of Columbia landed. Debris also fell in parts of Louisiana.
Organised searches are continuing in Nevada and Utah, where officials suspect the first pieces might have fallen to the ground. Searches have concluded in California and New Mexico without finding any debris.
Officials said Monday the cost of searching for shuttle debris in Texas and other states will be at least 302 (M) million US dollars.
